Ingredients

  • 24 oz Chocolate Almond Bark
  • 16 Ritz Crackers
  • 64 Candy Corn Pieces
  • 4 Cups Cake crumbled (I used Chocolate cake)
  • 3 Tablespoons Frosting I used Vanilla
  • 32 Candy Eyeballs
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Add the almond bark to a medium bowl and microwave in 30 second blasts, stirring between, until totally melted and smooth.
  • Dip each ritz cracker into the almond bark, coating it completely, then lay out on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  • Before it dries, place four candy corn pieces (for the turkey's tail) on one edge of the cracker.
  • Repeat until all crackers have been coated.
  • Add the crumbled up cake and frosting to a large mixing bowl, and mix together until totally combined.
  • Take 2 Tablespoons of the cake mixture and roll into a ball. Lay on another baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  • Repeat until all cake mixture is used.
  • Take a 6" treat stick and dip the end 1" into the melted almond bark, then push half way into a cake ball.
  • Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
  • Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Once the cake has frozen enough, reheat the almond bark to dipping consistency.
  • Dip each cake ball into the melted almond bark until totally coated. Allow to drip off (mostly) then lay onto one of the coated ritz crackers.
  • While the coated cake pop is still wet place two candy eyes, one nose sprinkle and an upside down heart sprinkle underneath for the face of the turkey cake pop.
  • Repeat with the remaining cake pops.
  • Arrange/display as desired.

Notes

I had some leftover cake tops from baking a while back which was perfect for this recipe - you can make your own cake OR just throw together a box mix and quickly whip up a cake. Depends on how special you need them to be? Typically young kids won't notice the difference!
I like to use Almond Bark because I prefer how easy it is to dip/coat. If you prefer, you could use candy melts, or even better... chocolate!
